Justinian bloggers (blawgers)

Justinian proudly publishes some of the finest lawyers ever to get their fingers near a computer keyboard. This is part of Justinian's repository that comes out from behind the paywall.

Artemus Jones - Spending time with a women who is not his wife. Barely Legal - Still at law school, trying to understand what it's all about. Comment - Untamed opinions. Critics Corner - Criticism of critics. Junior Junior - Our baby barrister blogger slowly comes to grips with the mysteries of the bar. Peach Melba - Dazzling, with a finely tuned Yarraside snout. Procrustes - The columnist who also blogs. Student-at-Large - Small students with large opinions. Theodora - Theodora was married to Justinian, and despite a shaky start in life now runs the empire like Mrs Thatcher. Unrobed - Reporting on unhealthy obsession.

We'd happily induct you into the blawging hall of fame if you wanted to unpack a few burning issues. Contact the Ed. for further and better particulars.
